Ashwin changed his bowling action and delivery point, if you pause it as Ashwin would "normally" have bowled the ball then Butler is, if anything, 2-3cm out of his ground, compared to what we see in international cricket he's hardly taking the piss.

Ashwin's eyebrow pisses me off too.

Like I said I think Ashwins was dirty but I don’t have an issue with a mankad when a batsmen is using it to his advantage.

I played in a game where the team needed 6 off the last over to win. When I bowled the first ball of the over the batsmen was a good metre in front of the crease. When I walked back to bowl I just said to him ‘if you get any further forward my ball is going to get you in the back of the head mate, how about you come back a bit’ He laughed.

Next ball as I came before I even got to the umpire he was a head off the crease, I stopped and pointed out to the umpire how far ahead he was and that next time I have zero issue with mankadinf him, which I definitely would have. He didn’t leave the crease for the rest of the over and we won.

I would have had no qualms mankadding that bastard.

Just to clarify, I’m not advocating mankading blokes. I’m advocating staying in your ******* crease until the bowler lets it go.

Stay in your crease and there’s no problem.
Pretty simple.

Deserves to be Mankaded for wearing the horrid pink uniform

Don’t you have to go right through your delivery stride before being able to Mankad?

No, you can't complete your bowling action and hold onto the ball and then break the stumps. The bowler can plant their back foot and commence the delivery stride, but they must not swing their arm all the way through.

Here's another Mankad:

Buttler again

A bit of cricket karma in the IPL overnight. Mohammed Shami bowled Andre Russell with a beautiful yorker, but Ravi (mankad) Ashwin had an extra fielder outside the circle, so it was a no ball, free hit and Andre Russell goes on to make 47 off 18 balls and win the game.

Come on...…....they should have been good blokes about it and let the wicket stand. I mean the fielder was only half a metre outside the circle!

Not a fan of T20 but that partnership of Warner and Bairstow last night was amazing striking.

Kohli's side bottom at 0-6 .

Andre Russell has scored 207 runs off 77 balls with 22 sixes !

Warner with most runs atm.

Great final last night went down to the last ball

Shane Watson nearly won the cup off his own bat only to run himself out with a couple of balls to go.

Poor guy was spent and just couldnt get up a gallop coming back for the 2nd run, had to laugh the commentator saying he turned like the QE2

Been some great games throughout this series, leaves the big bash for dead

I’d agree, I don’t watch the BBL but watched a bit of this for some reason

Been watching this with interest the last week or so, been some great cricket played and some awesome innings and also fielding

But FFS why does David Warner have to change his gloves at the end of every single over when he is batting, even if he has not faced a ball during an over, he does it.

Last night we added the fact, oh lets start changing the grip on the bat, reckon the game went an extra 4r5 minutes because of him and the delays

Time the umpires grew some balls and stamped it out

Warner sacked as captain then dropped, team gets smashed

Now today comp in limbo as a player on the side Pat Cummins plays for tests positive to COVID, was only a matter of time

Infact two players from KKR have tested positive to COVID-19.

Absolute disgrace the tournament was still going ahead

The 2 KKR players to test positive to COVID-19 is Varun Chakaravarthy and Sandeep Warrier but the rest of the KKR squad, including Aussies Pat Cummins and Ben Cutting have tested negative.
